SUMMARY:WLGC: BookBuzz "Towards Game Translation User Research"
DESCRIPTION:“Towards Game Translation User Research”\nFireside Chat with Dr. Miguel Ángel Bernal Merino\n\n\nIn our “book buzz” series we will have a Fireside chat with Dr. Miguel Ángel Bernal Merino \nThis book takes the initiative to highlight the nascent state of audiovisual translation research centring on users of video games. It proposes ways of advancing the research by integrating numerous related perspectives from relevant fields to guide studies in translated game reception into further fruition. It offers an accessible overview of possible relationships between translation and its experiencers\, showcasing ways to design game reception studies. Examples\, methods\, tools\, and practical concerns are discussed to ultimately develop a blueprint for game translation user research which aims to consolidate scientific user-centric inquiry into video game translation. To that end\, the blueprint captures the three-pronged interplay between the parameters of localisation-reception research in facets of user experience\, facets of translated games\, and facets of game users. \n \n📅 Date: 18 July\, 2024 \n⏰ Time: 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM\, Pacific time \n🔗 Location: Online \n \nType of event: Fireside Chat \nModerated by: Pooja Agrawal \nGuests: Dr. Miguel Ángel Bernal Merino \n \nAgenda \n\nIntro of Women in Localization & Global Community\nIntroduction to the author\nFireside Chat\nQ&A\nThis event will be hosted and moderated by the Events and Content team within Global Community of Women in Localization and Chapters.\n\nAbout the Author: \nProfesor de traducción e interpretación\, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria \nDr. Miguel Bernal-Merino believes passionately in great quality game localization and has been working nonstop to raise awareness of issues within the game and localization industries as well as academia and translation studies.
